KemiKaze can't hide her joy as Canada's Conservatives prove how easy it is to lose elections

As for Labour, Keir Starmer was keeping a low profile - his most effective form of campaigning given his current popularity

Suddenly it all became clear. Why Kemi Badenoch was out and about giving interviews for the second day running, looking and sounding as if she wasn't completely fed up. This wasn't the Tory leader we had come to know and to whom we had become largely indifferent. Kemi had punched the air as the Canadian election results came in. It was beyond her wildest dreams. Not just a victory for the Liberal party, but the failure of the Conservative leader. Pierre Poilievre had lost a 20-point lead in months - and he had also lost his own seat.

Hopefully Robert Jenrick would follow suit. It was Honest Bob who had been leading the Tories' charge to worship at the knee of Poilievre. As recently as last year, he had been writing articles for rightwing publications in praise of the Canadian Conservatives. Vive Pierre!

It's not often that a plan comes together, so Kemi was determined to enjoy her moment. And all the better that it had come as Donald Trump celebrated his 100th day in office.
